The Mighty Boosh is a British cult comedy about two friends who go on magical adventures. It has appeared as series of stage shows, a BBC radio series and a BBC Three TV series. The Mighty Boosh was created by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, who play Howard Moon and Vince Noir respectively.The title comes from a comment Noel heard about his brother's (Michael Fielding) hair by a Portuguese friend. "When he was young, he had really curly hair and his little friend when he was five used to say 'You've got a mighty bush!', but his ridiculous Portuguese accent made "bush" sound like "boosh". I thought it was funny, I just overheard them say that once and thought 'Mighty boosh, that's quite cool.' We didn't want to be Barratt and Fielding, that sounds dreadful."The stage show has no strict setting, but the radio series and first television series are based around a zoo called Bob Fossil's Funworld ("Where fun, plus world, equals... Worldfun") and later The Zooniverse. Though the episodes would invariably begin and end in the zoo, the main characters would tend to leave the zoo for more bizarre realms, such as the arctic tundra and limbo. The second series had an even looser setting, based in a flat in Dalston.
